The Town of Chapel Hill has closed Town facilities to the public effective at 5 p.m. Monday, March 23, to further promote the idea of social distancing in an effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus).

Parks and Recreation will temporarily close the eastern end of the Morgan Creek Trail on March 23 for repairs. We expect the work will take 3-5 days to complete. The Morgan Creek Trail will remain open from the trail head on NC 54 to the connector with the 1.6 mile Fan Branch Trail.

To limit the spread of respiratory viruses and safeguard those most at risk of contracting COVID-19 (coronavirus), the Town of Chapel Hill is postponing, canceling, or modifying events and programs until further notice.

The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NC DHHS) is taking proactive steps to protect the health of our community by making recommendations that are meant to slow the spread of the COVID-19 outbreak and reduce the number of people infected.
